Very few people have naturally straight teeth. Straight teeth look brighter because they do not cast shadows and because they are easier to clean and bleach. Straight teeth also function better and are easier for the general dentist or dental specialist to maintain.

Over a period of time, your teeth will shift if constant, gentle pressure is applied. Brackets are bonded to the front surface of each tooth and wires are attached to the brackets with elastic bands. The slight tension on the wire is gently transferred to the bracket through the elastic band and the teeth align themselves to the configuration of the wire. Brite Dental can treat orthodontic patients without extracting any teeth and place braces for 12 to 15 months only.
